Are you sure your eventDate field is an acceptable date (ie. its datatype)?

I would like to show upcoming conferences on one page and past conferences on another. Users are sending files up in excel. I'm linking them to Access and would like to run queries on the data. Since access is linked to excel the data type can't be modified from text to date. I tried creating new fields in excel and formating the field as date. but that didn't work. SQL attempt I would like to do a WHERE eventDate > getdate() in access -- but nothing seems to work date() doesn't give an ODBC error but it doesn't do anything either. Cold Fusion Attempt I can't seem to be able to pass anything to a <cfif DateCompare(#CreateDate(#eventDate#)#, Now()) IS -1> The wonderful queryName.fieldName didn't work this time. :-) I'm stuck on what to do. Aside from having users fill out a form and populate a MSSQL database. thx // gilbert midonnet ______________________________________________________________________ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
